Nanik Joeliawati Santoso
Bu Nanik currently serves as Senior Director of PT Ciputra Surya Tbk, one of Indonesia's largest property groups. Prior to her appointment as Director, she had served in the company for 9 years, proving her to be a formidable force behind the success of Ciputra Surya over the past 25 years.
Bu Nanik found KKI by chance when reading Reader's Digest. She was so compelled to help KKI that she immediately contacted KKI's founder, Leonardo Kamilius, to ask how she could contribute. Since then, Bu Nanik has been our loyal supporter, providing input, feedback, and support. We were extremely grateful when she accepted the invitation to sit on KKI's Board of Commissioners in 2016.
Leonardo Kamilius
Prior to setting up KKI, Leon worked at McKinsey & Co as a Business Analyst. After briefly volunteering during the Padang earthquake, Leon quit McKinsey as his calling to serve others grew. Starting KKI with only 50 million rupiah, his faith was tested through many ups and downs.
Graduating as Valedictorian from the University of Indonesia, Leon led KKI's growth to serve thousands of members. He was awarded the 2014 Ernst & Young Social Entrepreneur award for his relentless service. Today, Leon continues to guide KKI's strategic direction and vision as part of the Board of Commissioners.
